Fitness Journey

In the beginning I was a 206lb "flabalicious" fat guy rapidly approaching the big 3-0. So, how am I doing? Today, about seven months in, I weighed 166.6lbs. Over the holidays I went back up to 178 lbs, but now I am working on reaching my goal of 159 lbs, 7% body fat, and a Ninja Warrior ready body.

Well it is that time again. Time to look through the search folder and laugh at all the poorly spelled, ill-thought, and just plain odd search terms that have led folks my way. Also, for your benefit I have laced this post throughout with GRE prep vocabulary words. Now you can learn AND laugh at the same time.

Somehow I think that the misspelling- a simple substitution of a u for an a- got this guy a whole different search result than what he intended on finding. Imagine his horror, as he typed in this term seeking out photos of naked men and he instead found photos of nuked men- perhaps Hiroshima and Nagasaki photos? That is a doozie of a difference caused by one wrong vowel. In a way it is sad. His sedulous pursuit of nude pictures of men is greeted instead with scenes of abject horror and destruction. The real tragedy, somewhere someone’s appetite for porn was not sated– the reliance on spelling skills proved a fatal flaw in the internet’s porn delivery system in this case.

how to make sex a workout

First, have sex. Second, you just worked out. If you were looking to incorporate dumbbells and such, well, other than yourself, I don’t recommend using them.

Well, I am due to turn in my encyclopedia entry on slave patrols on August 1. The only problem is that I can’t find my muse. I have written four drafts, all of which I’ve torn up (figuratively since I am using Word) and thrown away (deleted). Which stinks since most of them were near complete but they weren’t quite what I wanted to write. The topic of slave patrols is so large and I only have 750 words to express all I want to say. This is driving me crazy.

So I guess I need to pray, focus real hard, block all outside distractions (dog, radio, etc.) and just sit here till I either starve, go insane, or write the perfect entry. I am hoping that the third option happens first. Although, while in law school I came pretty close to the first and second taking place all too often.

I am presenting for your enjoyment a PowerPoint presentation on slavery I created last year for a course on teaching at the college level. Some of its contents might surprise you. Let me know what you think.

Most of all I want to know if you learned anything knew? Did it challenge anything you thought you knew? What do you think it was missing? Or anything else that might be on your mind.
